How do we stop AI-generated ‘poverty porn’ fake images?

There is an important and necessary conversation happening right now about the use of generative artificial intelligence in global health and humanitarian communications. Researchers like Arsenii Alenichev are correctly identifying a new wave of “poverty porn 2.0,” where artificial intelligence is used to generate stereotypical, racialized images of suffering—the very tropes many of us have worked for decades to banish. The alarms are valid. The images are harmful. But I am deeply concerned that in our rush to condemn the new technology, we are misdiagnosing the cause. The problem is not the tool. The problem is the user. Generative artificial intelligence is not the cause of poverty porn. The root cause is the deep-seeded racism and colonial mindset that have defined the humanitarian aid and global health sectors since their inception. This is not a new phenomenon. It is a long-standing pattern. In my private conversations with colleagues and researchers ... Read More

This AI knows how people usually eat bananas, but ask for a bananus, and all hell breaks loose.

For the record, a "bananus" is what I call my banana when I open it by the "wrong" end.

This started as "lettuce feasting on lettuce", and then "fettuce feasting on fettuce" and then "fetus feasting on fetus."

I was expecting it to choke, but no... I got my wish. 🧚

"They have a mythology and they have an aesthetic. They make all of their decisions for either mythological or aesthetic reasons. This is why fascists love modern AI. To them, it represents victory of aesthetics over art. The final triumph of surface-level appearances over human meaning. After all, if art still matters, than humans must still matter. A fascist cannot accept human worth."—Aaron M Brown

"Companies can’t launch a new AI venture without their customers telling them, clearly, “nobody wants this.” And yet they persist. Why? Class solidarity. The capitalist class, as a whole, has made a massive bet on AI: $1 trillion dollars,

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

Even though my enthusiasm for #aigeneratedimages has waned, I just can't stop myself from fucking around with it. You know, what it feels like to me, is being back in the #90s, twiddling around with settings for hours in Kai's Power Tools for #Photoshop, just to see what weird patterns, colours, and animations you can make. If nothing else, that's pretty cool. #AI #AiGenerated
